Market Knowledge & Approvals

We have, from our beginnings in 1988, built up an unrivalled knowledge and appreciation of the security and defence markets in all the differing International zones.

ADS obtained a NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCGE) Code, no. U1E46, in 2018. This makes us a licensed vendor to the USA.

The Company holds a D-U-N-S number (223725166) under the Dun & Bradstreet system which is recognised by the European Commission, the UN, the USA and Australian Governments, and over 50 worldwide industry and trade associations.

We are also approved suppliers to several European and South American Ministries of Defence.

Having exported to over 90 countries, we at ADS have a full range of expertise in worldwide trade. We will always listen to your particular needs: and we will deal professionally with the issues that can surround the transportation and importing of sensitive ballistic products.

Expert Advice

We always start by talking with new clients: but more importantly, by listening to them.

This is in order to understand what their current hardware and clothing specifications are; and seeking to understand what strengths and weaknesses each item is perceived to have – technically, and in terms of ease of use, cost, longevity, etc.

Bespoke Solutions and Value

Having discussed the required specifications with the police, military or security force concerned, ADS will aim to construct the best-fit solution, using our expertise to provide the optimum solution at the best possible price.

Product Ranges and Performance

Over our long history we have built up a huge network of supply partners; and we deploy their ranges of products to construct integrated systems that will perform optimally in any theatre of combat or civil order scenario, and in the particular climate and terrain of the country concerned.
